It wasn’t exactly what I had planned for mothers day. And in all truth, I hadn’t really planned much. We always go “light” on holidays. Light in terms of expenses, and expectations. We keep it simple and quality. Good food, […]
I am finally sitting down. My body aches, my head throbs and I am cursing my husband for making the challenges that we cut out trips to the beer store for 3 weeks. I am exhausted. I …
We love our island, the home we have built here and the life we are living. We also love that we are continually put in situations where we fall in love with it all over …
Yes, I know perfect is going pretty far here, but we just had a pretty amazing weekend. Sure, there were a few blips in the days (two meltdowns by the 3yr old blip for starters) …
I have been in Vancouver for a week. I had an amazing time. Utterly amazing. But I can't stop smiling as I sit here on the ferry, on my way home. It is such an extraordinary feeling to …
Sometimes awesome things just land in front of us. Awesome, creative, perfect things. Such was this little thing. I had the opportunity to create an event to celebrate Canadian Chicken while they were in Vancouver Sponsoring the Connecting …
Life is funny sometimes (okay, all the time. Life is funny ALL the time) I spent last week deep in thought about our one year anniversary of "the big decision" and then, when the actual day …

Someone asked me to write on living in the world of "good enough" As in . . . I am walking my kids to school, the sun is shining and we are "pretty happy", so this …
A year ago, we were in the midst of the week from hell. It was a bad, bad week. It was the week of our life (so far) where we hit rock bottom. We were working …
I am another year older today, squeaking really, really close to the big FOUR-OH. I already told you how "ok" I am with getting older, and how I am pretty darn happy with the person I am …
It's my birthday, my 39th birthday, tomorrow. This one is easier than the last, maybe because I have adjusted at being so darn close to 40 . . or maybe just because I am a happier …
In the 8 months we have been here the kids have been waiting to "hit the movies" on the island. We don't live near the theater, and so frequently forget to check what's playing, and if …
Yesterday was a long day. I am attempting to give my little dude some more attention in the hopes that this will curb his 3yr old tantrums. I don't really think it is working, but I …
